A Story OF Bishop Simpson.

An incident showing his gifts is relat-
ed by his uncle. Late one Saturday
night he arrived at town in the noun
famous regions of Pennsylvania, where
he was total stranger. The next morn
ing he made his way to the Methodist
church, and accosted the pastor, telling
him he was a brother in the ministry.
Simpson being extremely awkward and
plain in appearance, the pastor was half
inclined to omit the courtesy due a
brother preacher, of asking him to de.
liver sermon. If he inquired of the
Bishop as to his name he must have
failed to catch it, for he certainly had no
no idea to whom he was speaking His
request for the stranger to preach was
therefor expressed in the most formal
and constrained manner. The stranger
readily agreed to fill the pulpit, and the
pastors's chagrin was evident, as he re-
signed himself to his fate. The bishop
preached one of his powerful sermons,
and everybody in the audience whisper
to his neighbor, "Who is he?" Before
he had taken his seat the pastor had
him by the hand. "What did you say
your name WASP" Simpson" "What!
Not the bishop?" THAT is what they
call me-" The minister instantly sprang
to his feet and shouted, "You have just
had the privilege of listening to Bishop
Simpson. Let us sing, Praise God from
whom all blessings flow.'"- From The

The N. p. to Butte.

On authority of Col. Clough, enginet 7
Of the Northern Pacific railroad, is given
elsewhere a definite statement of the
Northern Pacifc's intention to reach
Butte from Three Forks bv tapping the
Helena & Butte road at Boulder CITY.
This disposes of the Pipestone route,
but secures practically the same Object

man. A noticeable point in this matter
is the adoption of the eastern end of the

the Northern Pacific during the Colonel
Dodge surveys, making forty miles
shorter transcontinental line than via
either Butte or Helena. The west ap-
proach to Dry Cottonwood was pro.
nounced too abrupt, an opinion we have
never believed tenable. but the principal
bugaboo was the high divide between
Boulder and Three Forks. Now it is
found practicable. Some day yet, when

becomes a more important matter,

the Deer Lodge valley via Boulder to
Three Forks. There is a percentage of

1t is pretty well known, suppose, that
Ex Gov. Hauscr and Col. Bloadwater
are not upon terms of friendship.
This is the more remarkable because the
two men were once upon the most in
innate terms. being almost as Damon
and Pythias in their relations. And
that was not SO very long ago. Now they
never speak as they pass by, and when
unsuspecting strangers introduce them
at the club their greeting is as formal as
possible, without embarrassing the
stranger. No one appears to know the
exact cause of their falling ont. tits one
of the hidden mysteries. Not only We're
they longtime friends, but both arc
ardent democrats, both pioneers and
both love Montana above every country
on earth.
1t is noticeable, however, that neither
ever speaks i'll Of the other or of his pro
jects. Both are bankers and railroad
men, whose interest cannot but come in
to rivalry at almost every point But at
one point they meet upon broad level

The recent death of Russell II Kne.
walls, son of Sherman II. Knevals, of New
York, caused by excessive smoking of
cigaretts, may well cause kalt in those
who are becoming addicted to the use of
the weed in this form. 1t was in
evidence that young knevals was in the
habit of smoking three packages of cigar
cites day, and had suffered long time
with consequent disease known as
smokers heart" There was coroner's
jury it the case. and it was abundantly
proven that it was not case of deliberate,
intentional suicide, as some thought at
first. The publication of the case and
the prominence of the victim in this case
is bringing out great deal of testimony
which ought to enlighten our people to
the dangers of using tobacco in this form
to excess. The practice of inhalir g the
smoke is one of the worst features of
cigaretts smoking. 1t takes the poison
into the system and cannot be otherwise
than harmful to great extent. 1t is by
all physicians considered much more in
furious than cigar smoking, because.the
paper wrapper is more impervious to the
escape of the smoke. And still further
the danger is increased because the
tobacco used in the manufacture of cigar
ettes is druggcd, rurposely to increase
the appetite for this form of smoking.
Those who become accustomed to this
form of smoking become such slaves to
it that they cannot be content with the
best Havana cigar. The worst feature OF
all, perhaps, is that young boys take it in
this form, because it is cheaper and
easier tn be had. The results upon the
constitution of the young is much more
injurious than up IN older people. There
is no one doubt that thousands ar
brought to a premature death by thi'
means.
And yet it is true beyond doubt that Il
moderate use of tobacco is not injurious
DR.. Searle has an article on the subject
IN the August North American that
ought to be read by all, and will furnish
much comfort to those who love the
weed and are willing to restrict them
selves to a moderate use.
Like everything else, used immoIer,
ately it is dangerous. So is cold watei
and almost everything else in the form
of food and drink. The proper conclu'
sion is that every one must at his peri
